Global burden of cancer pattern in 2020 & prediction to 2040 among older adults.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background & objectives Cancer is one of the leading causes of death among older adults worldwide. The global burden of cancer among older individuals is increasing due to the ageing population. The increasing burden of cancer among older adults will pose significant social and economic challenges for the delivery of healthcare services. Materials Estimated cancer new cases, deaths, age-standardized truncated incidence and mortality rate per 100,000 for older adults (60 yr or above) were reported using GLOBOCAN 2020 estimates (gco.iarc.fr). Mortality to Incidence ratio (M/I ratio) expressed in percentage by gender and continent was provided. Results Globally, of all cancer cases, 11.3 million cases (representing 62.3%) and 7.5 million deaths (representing 71.2%) were seen among older adults. The top five leading sites of cancer account for 62.2 per cent of older men and 55.9 per cent of older women; however, a widespread geographical variation across world regions is observed. The number of new cancer cases among older adults is expected to rise from 11.3 to 19.8 million (a 75.2% increase) and deaths from 3.99 to 7.3 million (82.8% increase) by 2040. Interpretation & conclusions The expected rise will bring exceptional challenges to healthcare systems, especially in lower- or lower-medium-income countries where resources are limited. Data on cancer among older adults will help health planners and policymakers develop global geriatric cancer control policies.
